Introduction

To extend the GMSC Client, you can use the IDE of your choice. However we recommend to use the Eclipse IDE as this is the IDE used by the product center team.

Therefore this article describes how to get started with GMSC Client development using the Eclipse IDE.

Prerequisites

JDK11
Eclipse SimRel | 2018-09 Edition
Make sure that Eclipse is configured to use the JRE of the JDK11:
Go to Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs

Getting Started

Create a workspace
Get the template project sources from: https://bitbucket.org/HGDN/hgdn_gmsc/src/master/Client/Templates/gradle-gmsc-project/
Import the template project: File --> Import --> Gradle --> Existing Gradle Project (Project root directory: C:\hgdn_gmsc\Client\Templates\gradle-gmsc-project)
Make sure that the JRE System Library is [JavaSE-10] and mapped to JDK11 (the mapping is done automatically when Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs contains only the JDK11)
Start creating your extensions:
- see example: src\main\java\com\hexagon\gmsc\sample\DemoPlugin.java
- add your plugin in: src\main\resources\META-INF\services\com.intergraph.web.core.kernel.plugin.SmartClientPlugin
Create Run Configuration: Run --> Run Configurations --> Java Application

Main tab
As project select the template project
As main class select com.intergraph.web.SmartClient
Arguments tab
As project arguments define the Url to connect to the GMSC server and the site
As VM arguments set: -Djava.library.path="${project_loc}\build\natives"
Apply --> Run

Hi Atiquah,

You must purchase HGDN Subscription in order to be able to access HGDN BitBucket repository. If you do have the subscription and still can't access BitBucket, please log a support ticket for BackOffice product.
